OIL-STONE HOLDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Application tiled February 24, 1885.

To @ZZ whom, it may concern,.-

Be it known that l, J AMES WILLIAM COLE, a citizen ofthe United States. residing at Nashville, in the county of Davidson and State of Tennessee, have invented a new andusef'ul Improvement in Oil-Stone Holders, of which the foilowingisaspecitication, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.

My invention relates to an oil-stone holder; and it has for its object to provide a device of this character whereby the oil from the stone will be prevented from running upon the workbench `or other place upon which it is used, as is usually the casewith the oil-stone in ordinary use.

A further object of the invention is to provide an oil-stone holder which may be closed to exclude dust and other foreign matter from the stone, and to provide a holder which shall be cheap and simple in its construction and effective for-the purposes intended.

With these ends in view the invention consists, primarily, in a box or casing provided on its bottom with a series of ribs to support the stone and to forni spaces to serve as chambers for the reception of oil which may drip from thestone, and in means for securing the stone in place within the holder and to prevent its movement or displacement while being used.

The invention further consists in the details of construction and combinations of' parts hereinafter fully described, and pointed out in theV claims.

In the drawings, Figure l is a plan view7 showing the lid or cover thrown back and the stone clamped in position for use. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal vertical section on the line x x of Fig. l, and Fig. 3 is a transverse vertical section on the line y y of Fig. 2.

In the accompanying drawings, in which like letters of reference indicate corresponding casing, which in the present instance has rou nded ends, though, if desired, square ends could be employed to an equal advantage. Near one of the ends of the box or casing is provided a partition-Wall, b, thus forming a chamber, a, which may be used for holding the oil-can.

Upon the bottom of the box or casing A are arranged a series of transverse ribs or strips, B, which are oi a sufficient height to support Paten! N0. 337.559. dated March 9,1886.

the oil-stone from the floor or bottom of the box or casing, and to form compartments or chambers for the reception of oilthat may drip from the stone. On one of' thesides ofthe box or casing are provided posts C, lhaving screwthreaded holes or openings on their front faces near their upper ends,and litting in said screwthreaded openings are set-screws D, having re- 6;

ccsses or openings near their outer ends for the reception'ofany pointed instrument, whereby said set.-screws may be turned. On the opposite inner side of the casingare provided inwardly-extending wings E, against the ends ofr which the oil-stone is adapted to bear when the set-screws on the box or casingare turned to tighten the same in place. Aset-screw, F, working in a threaded opening of a post, G, is also provided at one end of the box or casing, 7c while at the other end is provided an inwardlyextending wing, H, against which the end of the oil stone is adapted to bear. r

I represents a lid or cover,I which is hinged to the box or casing, and is provided with any suitable catch device, J, forholding it closed.

By the construction above described the oilstone is firmly and securely clamped and held against either longitudinal or lateral movement, and by simply loosening the set-screws 8o it may be instantly removed. The ribs or strips on the bottom or door of the box or casing serve to support the stone from the said iioor, thus forming a space for the oil which may drip from said stone.

By the use of the above-described holder the Work bench may at all times be kept free from the oil ot' the stone, which has heretofore been an annoying feature of its use, since, when the stone was simply mounted 9o upon a block of Wood, the oil escaped from the stone and ran-upon the bench, and frequently upon the clothes of the user. By the construction before described these serious objections are overcome, anda holder pro- 95 vided which is not only cheap and simple in its construction, but one that is effective and thoroughly serviceable. Again, by placing the stone in a holder having the lid, so that itxnay be closed, dirt and other extraneous matter are roo excluded from the stone, which is an advantageous feature, since the dirt is apt to scratch and mar not only the stone, but thetoolswhen they are being sharpened.

chamber for the reception ofan oi1-can,astand ard at the opposite end of said case carrying a set-screw, a series of nwardlyprojecting wings, E, at one side of the case, and two or more standards at the opposite side ofthe oase carrying setserews adapted to clamp the oilstone, substantially as described.

In testimony that Iolaim the foregoingr as my own I have hereto aixed rny signature in presence of' two witnesses.
